Input devices
I’m looking to take a little strain off my wrist, and would like to become a little more efficient too. Right now I am using the Apple mighty mouse. I like it’s horizontal scroll, and light weight. I have been looking at some other options though for use on Mac with Media Composer 2.8. I’ve been looking at tablets, contour shuttle pro and the logitech NULOOQ. I would be delighted to get some opinions on there and other helpful gadgets.
Thank you!

I find holding a pen with a tablet to really hurt my hand after 4-5 hours. I also find the slight impreciseness with clicking and releasing to be a problem (especially in FCP where I almost always end up move a clip slight in the timeline when I try to select it).
There is a funky 3M ergonomic mouse that I used for a while and quite liked, I don’t think I ever used it for editing, but it would probably be pretty good.
I think shuttle controllers are probably a waste of time. We’re not cutting tape to tape here, how much mousing do you really do in getting around the clip? I know I don’t do a lot.
I wonder if it wouldn’t be worth getting a couple of different mice to swap beween during the day? Would probably help.
